The pie chart shows the distribution of 600 mathematics textbooks for Arts, Business, Science and Technical Classes. How many textbooks are for the technical class?

100

150

200

250

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is D

Arts = 90^o business = 75^o, science = 45^o

Technical 360^o - (90^o - 75^o + 45^o) = 360^o - 210^o

Technical = 150^o

textbooks for technical class = $\frac{150^o}{360^o}$ x 600

= 250

Find the value of m in the diagram

34^o

27^o

23^o

17^o

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is D

$\bigtriangleup$ ABC, A + 153 = 180 (angles on straight line)

< A = 180 - 153 = 27

< B = 2m(vertically opposite angles)

< C = 7m (corresponding ngles)

< A + < B + < C = 180 (sum of int. angles of $\bigtriangleup$ )

i.e. 27 + 2m + 7m = 180^o

9m = 180 - 27

9m = 153

m = $\frac{153}{9}$

= 17
